Noob Here - when it comes to Volvos at least

Hello all,

I recently purchased a '94 850 (non turbo), got a sweat deal and can't wait to start tweaking it.

Look forward to talking to you lot

Hello mate,

Welcome to the club. Look forward to your participations.

BTW, I am into genuine single malt (means they have to be from Scotland) and have been liking The Glenlivet & The MaCallan.

Cheers,

JPN

Is it 12, 15 French Oak, 16 Nadurra, 18, 21 Archive, 25 or vintage collection?

So far my favourites are the 16 Nadurra cask strength & 18.

Welcome. I have no idea what JPN is talking about. He must be drunk.

Thanks all,

JPN - I believe the only one I've tasted is the 12 year, the others get kinda expensive, and my wife doesn't appreciate me spending large amounts on "my" vice.

Welcome

If your non turbo tweaking can be kind of rough. Stick to cosmetic mods and suspension mods. Engine mods if you have to catback and intake. Other then that leave it alone.
